I'm Indispensable!

I've finally made it, I'm indispensable! I took some time off today to have a doctor's appointment. I got texted, called twice, and finally called by my boss to see where I was. I'm indispensable.

Of course when I actually got to work, nothing was as important as they thought it was. I hate when they do that.

I don't know how many of you have Keurig coffee makers, but mine has started just not brewing. This isn't the first time its done this and as I always do when something goes wrong, I looked in the manual. Nothing. Then I googled (is that a verb now). Nothing. Well it started again this week, so I googled again. As last time the problem is mentioned but none of the solutions worked last time either.

But this time was different. There was a solution that I hadn't seen before. Namely, you unplug, take off the reservoir, turn upside down, and.....wait for it.....slap it and burp it like you would a baby. I thought, no this is silly, but I tried it anyway and sure enough it works! No more waiting minutes for coffee that never comes.

I want to live here.

So why do I want to live here. Why do I have such a fascination with winter and log cabins. I can't explain it. But I always have. This is the main reason I don't really like Texas.

Don't get me wrong this is a great place to live, but I miss days like the above. Its a shame I'm have/had to put two kids through college or I would buy a piece of property in Colorado or Wyoming, just to have this.

I know April is a little early to think about winter, but I think about it all the time.

That men are the primary sufferers of color blindness. Apparently women don't suffer from it as often. Could be why women are always saying to their men, "You aren't wearing that are you?"

I suffer a bit from color blindness. On those color blind tests, I can't see any numbers past the first one. It could also be why I wear stuff like this:

Now I see the same blue in both the tie and the shirt, but several people told me it didn't work. I especially think it looks better from a distance.

 

OK, so maybe not.

I actually did have an idea for an iPhone app. Take a picture of all your ties and all your shirts. Then pick a shirt or a tie and the app will tell you the best match from the other. I think I'll call the app Wifey. Now if I can just find someone to do the programming.
